Remembering Our Heroes On Screen

In honour of Remembrance Day this year, we remember the countless soldiers who sacrificed their lives fighting in wars for our collective freedom. Here are five essential war movies that capture the stories of the heroism, honour, determination, and grace of our heroes.

“Spielberg puts us through the hair-trigger terrors of combat in a way no other filmmaker has ever dared, and yet there’s a gentleness to his enterprise. He’s interested in the humaneness that comes through the horror.” (New Times)

“Land of Mine is a refreshing surprise that deserves its nomination at the Oscars simply by being humane, heartfelt, and shocking without feeling necessary to delve into the platitudes of glorifying heroics.” (Film Ireland Magazine)
